According to VRFocus, Microsoft plans to bring ID@Xbox to Windows 10,Windows 10 Mobile and HoloLens, with their shared APIs as part of the Universal Windows platform enabling developers to enjoy one parallel code.

In fact, Microsoft suggests that some titles may need no modification and that features on a device such as vibrate or controller support will simply be ignored automatically on another device that does not include them.

As noted by VRFocus, the shared library and coding language will undoubtedly see third-party support for the HoloLens head-mounted display (HMD) arrive much quicker than were it to require it’s own unique middleware, the feature set of the HoloLens will still set it apart from Xbox One, Windows 10 and Windows Phones.

With Windows 10 being adopted by millions of consumers already, Microsoft hopes it will be able to court developers in releasing their work on mobile and VR and finally close the dreaded “app gap” for good.
